Courses

Hydraulic structures and schemes

Hydraulic structures and schemes are vital for ensuring supply of clean and renewable energy as well as water in enough quantity and sufficient good quality in order to fight against famine, poverty and deceases in the world.

Flow monitoring technology in water engineering

This course aims to provide theoretical fundamentals in flow measurement science, and advanced knowledge regarding measurement methods, tools and instrumentation applied to experimental hydraulics, industrial and environmental flows and water engineering applications.

Hydropower schemes and pumped-storage

The course deals with the conception and design of hydraulic structures used for production and/or storage of electric energy, including pumped hydro energy storage (PHES). We discuss their technical/social/economical/environmental feasibility in the Swiss/European/Global energy transition.
